Hi All Back from holidays and have now solved the problem. Tried the following while on holidays (did not have access to internet or desktop computer) and it did NOT work:

"soft" reset (paper clip)
remove SD card (thought it might be a bad epub file)
"hard" reset (from the advanced menu)
2 more hard resets (lost Covers doing this)
Redid the firmware upgrade (when I got home)

What DID work:

When I got home I deleted all the files on the Kobo (luckily had made backup shortly after purchasing) and recopied from backup
hard reset

Everything is fine now (added books show up and bookmarks work) and have the covers back. Not sure what the original problem was, trashed sqlite file?

Frustrating, but done.
